Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Ha ha, wrong answer:

Am I too big to pole dance? Pole Dance is for women of all shapes and sizes. You will definitely trim down as you go, and will see more body definition. Pole dance is a whole body workout. You get muscle toning and strength along with cardio vascular exercise, all combined into an extremely fun hour and a half workout.
Correct answer: If you weigh more than 150 pounds, you are too fat for this sport.

You can tell by the pictures on their website that they are a serious fitness establishment.

I love the thought process:

"I can't stand the thought of some women exercising with poles in that building over there. What can I do to stop it? I know, I'll take this rusty nail and hammer it through their phone line. That will show them!"

Brilliant.

All this fuss about cyber security and hacking and there's a huge vulnerability in telecommunications that no one is paying attention to.

I bet the Department of Homeland Security isn't even tracking suspicious shipments of used nails.

LAJ or sbxx...have either of you rode route 82 between leadville and aspen? or any trails in the aspen area?
Heckler, I have never been up that way by bike. Main road in and out of Aspen, so I would be careful.

Today's Schwinning Activity was open-air cruising in the Jeep with Mrs. RJ. I did check out some possible riding routes though.

First day back with the Schwinn since I finished its rehab last month.

Lots of fiddling.

I think it's all correctly adjusted now.

I bought it while in Scottsdale. The shop that repaired the broken spoke on my Exile Bike was a specialized dealer.
